INCOME TAXES

In determining its quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The effective tax rate on earnings was 29.3% and 26.7% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and 21.2% and 23.0% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The higher tax rates on earnings in both the three and six month periods was primarily driven by nonrecurring tax credits in the prior period, and lower compensation deductions and higher foreign income taxes in the current period.

Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $194 and $50 for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in payments in the current period was primarily driven by payment of fiscal year 2023 income taxes previously deferred as a result of the relief provided by the IRS announced in January 2023 due to winter storms in California.
